Reveal – Melika Lost Ones Lyrics
Lyrics
Verse 1
- It happened once upon a dream but it's still as real as it seems
- Let me set the scene about this pretty little teen
- Went by the name Malika, I met her in my teens
- Attended the same same school, I knew her from Fifteen
- I developed a crush, but it was never love
- We exchanged hugs and kisses, but never fucked
- Realized it wasn’t us, so it never ended in tears
- Still kept in touch, and after several years
- She settled down with this bredder, I used to see them in the zones
- I thought he was a wasteman, but fuck it, each to their own
- ‘Cos Malika says she’s happy, and that’s something that I’m glad to see
- But slowly and gradually, the whole dream became a tragedy
- The first year passed happily
- Things started to change when her man started saying he wants a family
- At first she had doubts, Malika wasn’t sure
- But Malikas in love, she let him go up in her, raw
- (Nothing happened) Certain things are destiny
- and other things were never meant to be
- Case in point, Malika’s pregnancy
- No mattter how hard they tried, the test still showed white
- Her man took it personal, like a blow to his pride
- Told Malika “You must be rotten inside
- And even if we did conceive a baby it’d probably die”
- Malika started to cry, said she wants to run away
- And that was the first time that he punched her in the face
Chorus
- Lost Ones, Lost Ones
- Yeah, we call ‘em Lost Ones
- Lost Ones, Lost Ones
- In the hood we call ‘em Lost Ones
- Lost Ones, Lost Ones
- Everybody’s Lost One
- Lost Ones, Lost Ones
Verse 2
- I still remember Malika as that pretty little teen
- Eyes deeper than philosophy, Olive skin that gleamed
- If you seen her recently, she’s looking like a fiend
- And the ironic thing is that Mailika means ‘Queen’
- But her man don’t understand that, he treats her like a slave blood
- Look closer you’ll see bruises benath the makeup
- She ain’t the same girl, I knew at 16
- Look deep into her eyes, shes living in a sick dream
- Losing her mental health, plus her respect for herself
- Within her own home, she’s living in her own hell
- Feels like shes enslaved, and her other half’s the jailer
- So now she looks for love in the arms of strangers
- She met a guy at work, he was a shoulder to cry on
- Things soon progressed and they found a sofa to lie on
- A few months passed, now there’s fear in her brain
- ‘Cos for the first time, her period never came
- The size of her mans ego meant he couldn’t see the truth
- It was really HIS seed that wouldn’t let them breed a youth
- And now shes finally pregnant, but her mans not the father
- She can’t tell him the truth, (Why?) scared of the drama
- Ran to her Mother’s house, thought she would understand
- But her mothers disgusted she was with another man
- Called Mailika a ho, said she’s on her own
- Packed a bag full of clothes and told her that she should go
- And now Mailika’s on the road..
Chorus
- Lost Ones, Lost Ones
- Yeah, we call ‘em Lost Ones
- Lost Ones, Lost Ones
- In the hood we call ‘em Lost Ones
- Lost Ones, Lost Ones
- Everybody’s Lost One
- Lost Ones, Lost Ones
- Wondering what coulda been
- Shoulda been, woulda been
- I never saw her in the hood again
- Wondering what coulda been
- Shoulda been, woulda been
- I never saw her in the hood again
